Sex File: Is it wrong to fake an orgasm?

Q. Sometimes I know that an orgasm just isn't going to happen. Is it really so bad to fake it?

A. Sex should never be all about the end game because you get so much from it even if you don't climax. In long-term relationships, couples are often not in the same frame of mind when sex starts, and that naturally has an impact. If your partner has been thinking about sex all day while you have just switched off your laptop after a day of video conferencing, it's going to take you a while to catch up. If you don't care either way, why not be honest? He can always make it up to you another time.
